1.1 Comparing player distance for misses, makes, and rebounds
Here I compare how far Dirk Nowitzki travels on misses, makes, and rebounds. Note to self that event message type is about the type of play, and event message action type is about what actually happened, consists of a ridiculous number of things that will need to be encoded, a start is recorded in Notes/Notes.txt.
[1] 491.3218[1] 359.9229[1] 413.5984How should I decide which plot to do here, I think annotating substitutions on here would be great.
1.2 Comparing player distance on layups
Lets look at what players run the farthest on plays where there is a layup.
Let’s compare this to the list of players that run the farthest when a layup is made.
2 Player Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk
How fast does the ball move on a particular play? I choose a pass that results in a steal here.
[1] "The mean velocity of the ball on this play is 872.514869706361 units/unit."2.1 Acceleration
2.2 Jerk
How should I do substitutions?
3 Animation
An NBA court is 94 feet by 50 feet. In the data x_loc (the x location variable) has a minimum, and maximum of (-5.22728, 98.53855), y_loc (the y location variable) is (-3.27955, 52.23675). It is safe to assume that the negative distances are just out of bounds, and mostly - presumably - the ball or inbounds passes.
